Brain Science for Writers Roundup 04-13-2014

Hi All! It's been an eventful few weeks, as the Midnight Thief launch approaches (3 more months!). There's a goodreads giveaway going on right now for a Midnight Thief ARC. The ARC is also available now on Netgalley. Also, I'm happy to announce that Midnight Thief has been named one of the top YA debuts of Summer/Fall 2014 by the American Bookseller's Association's Indies Introduce program. :-)

I'm trying out a new feature now, which is a roundup of neuroscience/psychology articles that might be of interest to writers. We'll see how it goes!

Is internet reading destroying our reading comprehension? This article argues yes, while this one says no. My thoughts? The brain optimizes itself to the type of tasks that we give it. That is neither a good or bad thing in and of itself.

Usually, I write about books that I own or that I borrowed from the library. If I received a book as a free review copy, I will say so in the post. Regardless of how I got the book, I do not do traditional book reviews. Rather, I focus on one or two writing techniques used by the author.All links to Amazon and Smashwords are affiliate links.
